Hungarian Ministry of Interior Instructional films
These images are from the training films of the Ministry of Interior's Film Studio, which operated between 1958 and 1988 (previously referred to as Police Films). Besides the two main propaganda themes of "frontier defense" and "traffic regulations", the Film Studio annually shot one or two training films especially for the state security and intelligence agency. The majority of these films focus on different surveillance techniques and methods and building the informers' network. BM Filmstúdió; Bűnügyi és Rendőrségtörténeti Múzeum

Objects from the exhibition "DDR, Life and Style"
Everyday objects typical of East German industrial production of the time - household plastics, radio electronics, and so-called consumer goods necessary for living - were mass-produced for millions. The exhibition is designed to present objects of material culture which represent the period from 1950's through the 1970's in the former GDR.
